LARGE TWAYBLADE ORCHID
Liparis lilifolia
After living HERE
about 5 years, we discovered this wild orchid a few feet off the path in a tangle of weeds and brush. We cleared the area around it and put up the usual cage to keep out the critters.
Although not impressive by commercial standards for a boutonniere, it is a true orchid and a very nice native flower to find accidentally on one's property.
Since finding this group, we have found another near the path on the opposite side of the property.
As a point of reference, the foliage is about the same size and looks very much like Lilies of the Valley.
